We had a fun trip to Fresno this weekend. We dicovered recently that our annual zoo pass expires at the end of March, and we've been wanting to go to the Fresno Zoo before it gets too hot. So we headed up Friday evening, bringing my nephew Jonathan with us to watch our kids while we went to the temple. First we dropped everyone off at the hotel, then we hurried over to the temple, getting to the last session with 5 minutes to spare.
The next morning Kristen's family drove up, dropped their kids off with us at the hotel, and went to do a session. We had a fun time playing with Luke. My kids just can't get over how cute he is. Spencer says, "I haven't seen a baby that cute in a long time!"
Then we met Kristen and Nathan after their session and had a picnic lunch by the temple before going to the zoo.
The weather could not have been more perfect - sunny and warm but not too hot. Spencer is soaked from petting the sting rays. 
One great thing about that zoo is that all the exhibits are nice and close together, so it requires a lot less walking than other zoos we know. In case you're wondering, the San Diego Zoo is not made for kids.
We knew Brennan would love the zoo! He spent very little time in the stroller this time and had to get picked up to see all the animals better. His favorites were probably the elephants and tiger. He could have watched them all day.
Luke cooperated very nicely and slept in the stroller almost the whole time. He did wake up a bit at the end, and Kristen put him in her cute Moby wrap Marrisse made her. Afterwards we picked up pizza and headed home. There was some frustration with the van when it did that annoying transmission thing, but we turned it off and on a few times, and it worked fine after that. It was a fun weekend.
